So this guy is the President of paypal ? :/
Anibal Jose Baez
He is a guy that can actually SEE what can be accomplished with a platform like Ethereum. Or, he should be able to see it better than others.
Howard Posehn
Why would anyone want to talk to the guy who will close your account if you purchase crypto's with paypal. This guy is not user friendly.
Howard Posehn
This guy is part of the problem!

It would be the only way to get jurisdiction, so the government will back it all the way. This is NOT "good news"; It's an event marker. This is when the current system "blinks".
The Ethereum project will likely accept! They KNOW they are the BETA TEST. Bitcoin was an ALPHA TEST. People can make up all the mythology and bullshit they want!
...or you can just fork the code, and copy it. That's the beauty of it. The government and banks (and the ignorant, stupid, greedy public) will consume time effort resources "fighting" the prototypes, while the PRODUCTION stuff is being built quietly.
This is why we KNOW we have already won. This is just the start of MASSIVE amounts of resources going toward sabotaging a WORKING prototype. What will they have left when the REAL THING shows up? :D

Scott Duncan, excuse my ignorance. I know BitCoin is the Alpha Test. I see that Ethereum is the Beta Test. What is the actual production stuff called?
Scott Duncan
It's called NoneOfYourFuckingBusinesereum. :D
Chris Evan
Yeah...yeah...yeah....I wasn't asking for the trade name. I was asking for the TERM.

Alpha Test...Beta Test....????
Pete Daoust
Vagina Test :P

In software development:
ALPHA TEST = Proof of concept. It works just enough to get the general idea across to other developers. IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE "PUBLIC". Many projects who have talented developers, tend to allow public testing, but this tends to be more "showing off" than proving a concept.
BETA TEST = PUBLIC TRIALS. In the lab it's very easy to reproduce results, but that tends to limit the real-world shit that can go wrong. When everyone is finished their contributions, and all their testing is complete, the developers release a TEST to the public. Google Mail was in "beta" for TEN YEARS. The general public is a GREAT resource for finding bugs. It's also good marketing for you services, if you can fix problems in beta test products. This is what the Ethereum team is doing. They will fall flat on their faces, or they will become stupidly wealthy... all because of this beta test.

I do the same with "Administration", I was in ALPHA test for a while with it, and a week ago or so, I have launched phase II, BETA test :D
Janick Paquette
So that's why you made this video on administrating bills! :D
Adam Thomas
When does it pass the fap test ???

So, Paypal... being an intermediary for banks (statutory banking laws) gives gov't jurisdiction on the transactions... Correct Scott? Avoid this "joint venture" then?
I am just seriously awaiting the point where nothing that concerns ME/value requires a bank...
